Smile, I think the police have better things to spend their time on, than 
worrying about someone having a smoke in an open air park.

So suggest the place designate a smoking area, standing room only (no seats), 
lots of ashtrays, within sight of the game.  You'll be more liable to have 
sucess.

Give it a rest.  Radicalism like that, to remove the right to have a smoke in 
an open air area, is not going to get you anyplace.  Passing laws like that 
is useless.  We dont want to turn the USA into a martial law place, with 
smokers as the 'great satan' and the poor cops trying to catch smokers 
instead of thugs, murderers, rapists, and other more critical crimes.
